It is the political season here in the US. Before doing my civic duty and sitting down to watch the Democrats debate in California, I wanted to scribble a quick note to you and let you know that we are nearing release of the next maintenance release for XMod - version 5.0.4. This will contain fixes for a number of issues that have been reported and will include an enhancement to the <xmod:format> tag. Since we are rewriting the ratings and comments feature in XMod, that will not be included in 5.0.4. I hope to have 5.0.4 available for you within the next week. Now... on to the debate!
